I try to spend my time outside of work not staring at a screen, running, cycling, walking, swimming, cooking. I cannot imagine spending time and money perfecting a three television setup? Is there no regret for time wasted? A life wasted?
- foxyv 5y agoI agree with you wholeheartedly. However, there is occasionally something magical about a living room with a television that brings a group of friends together. Especially for a new movie we all get excited about. It's too bad that is so rare.
- ptero 5y agoYes, but a room with two TVs on which two family members can play their own games is, to me, a step in the wrong direction :(.
- helsontaveras18 5y agoNot sure why this sensible comment is being downvoted. The living room used to be a place for a family to congregate and spend time together doing shared activities. If everyone is on their own device… there is no opportunity for quality time and shared connection.
- somehnacct3757 5y agoI think it's because two tvs on a wall tell you nothing about the way people spend the rest of their time away from the TV. The living room hasn't changed. Instead of one person reading and one person on the TV; or one person doing crafts while another reads; two people are on two TVs. Why the moral panic?
- drewcoo 5y agoThen if you're in that situation, consider counseling or divorce. Otherwise, shut up.
- ptero 5y agoWow, chill, mate. This is not reddit.
- ahahahahah 5y agoOnly so much as a pair of chairs for two family members to each sit and read a book in or a pair of bicycles for two family members to each ride is a step in the wrong direction.

- sarsway 5y agoTo each their own I guess. But I'm with you, I got rid of my TV in the living room and put some house plants on the table instead. Now I just sit there in chill, no entertainment necessary. Sounds boring, but idk, I can just drink tea and daydream and be lazy for hours.
- somehnacct3757 5y agoYour definition of a life 'unwasted' is no more or less correct than the article author's or anyone else's. Perhaps the author spends their time running, walking, swimming, cooking, and jacking in to the three-tv-experience. You wouldn't know, but you judge nonetheless.
- jjuel 5y agoSo you think them doing something they enjoy together is a life wasted? Why call someone else's choices wasting. I enjoy spending time with my kids and doing things with family. Should I tell a couple with no kids who travel they are wasting their lives by not having a family or am I the one wasting my life by not traveling? Seriously to each their own. Let people live without judging. How much life are you wasting by browsing HN?
